As smart grid deployments have increased throughout the United States, concerns regarding consumer access and privacy related to consumer energy consumption data have become increasingly important. To provide a collaborative environment for a variety of stakeholders to express their thoughts, opinions, and perspectives on smart grid consumer data privacy, OE hosted the Smart Grid Privacy Workshop on January 31, 2012. More than 80 representatives from several stakeholder groups attended the meeting. Participants represented 16 utilities, 15 third-party vendors and carriers, 12 consumer advocate organizations, 3 state commissions, and 9 federal agencies. OE convened the meeting in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the issues and to hear stakeholder perspectives and recommendations for a path forward.
The summary report for the workshop is available below.
